On the mountain today to check snow condictions and rode the VK snowmobile to see what the trails are like. The trails are in good shape especially the outer trails. The inner trails near the highway have choppy small bumps and all trails have a very hard base. We have not groomed since Monday when even the new tiller cat couldn’t smooth the trails without new snow. We really need a dump of snow to smooth the trails. Temps the last several
days have been a above freezing and today it was 40 degrees and last night it was a low of 33 degrees. I rode down to the Chalet and no surprise the snow is very thin since the rain before New Years and not a enough to groom. The forecast right now doesn’t look good for daytime temps but there is snow coming next week, hopefully better condictions to groom.
